Bad news for Mimiga lovers everywhere -- the release date for Cave Story 3D has officially been pushed back. Now the 3D remake of the indie sensation will hit stores on November 8.

"We are currently undergoing improvements to enhance gameplay," said Jack Niida, producer at NIS America, Inc. "Changes are in the small details, but in order to satisfy both the fans and the new players we need to make sure the game is done right. Please look forward to it this holiday season. Cave Story 3D will be a blast."

Cave Story is an action platformer that was orignally created entirely by one man, Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya. The remake will feature brand new character models and backgrounds, all in stereoscopic 3D. Expect new secrets and Easter eggs to round out the package for those who've already played the game.
